[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] GS Engineering & Construction has introduced vests made from 100% recycled materials at all its sites.

GS Engineering & Construction announced on the 1st that it produced eco-friendly vests using recycled polyester resin, a fiber material made by finely shredding recycled PET bottles, and distributed them to all its sites.

Previously, vests made from chemically synthesized polyester fibers were used. The newly introduced eco-friendly vests can recycle approximately 24,000 2-liter PET bottles annually based on an order volume of about 5,000 vests.

GS Engineering & Construction plans to expand the campaign to include workwear such as shirts. A GS Engineering & Construction official stated, "Workwear is the most commonly used item at construction sites," adding, "By applying eco-friendly materials, we will continue proactive eco-friendly management that minimizes environmental destruction in production activities as well as promotes sustainable consumption for resource circulation."

Meanwhile, on the 3rd, GS Engineering & Construction introduced reusable cups in the common rest areas at its headquarters and is continuing eco-friendly relay campaigns such as 'Plastic Free Day,' where teams avoid using plastic for a day, and operating shared eco-bags.
